L! I'ERA RV REVIEW. The .ENEIS of VIRGIL. Translated by'CliantEs SYMMoNS, Mt). of Jesus College, Oxford, 4to. Velle videmnr, et in nirdiis conatibbs Ergre Sticcidiintis ; ' NON LINGUA VALET. R. FruNTER, St. Paul's Churels-yard ; and J. PORTER, Pall- As we approach the conclusion of our remarks on ho interesting a work as a new translation of an immortal Poem, we feel as if we were going to take leave of a long-valued and departing friend, front whom we have derived much plea sore and improvement. We have, however, the consolation of reflecting, that we are not on the . eve of being divided by the awful separation of . .,death, but that we can always recur to him in an „Amur of leisure, assured of receiving ample gra tification, and of enlarging our knowledge, and refining Our taste, by the productions of his ge nius anti Ibis learning. We have reason to be lieve, that the - great Seminaries of Learning, our Universities, have been satisfied with the notice which we have taken of the Translation. of '1 H E Ift.Nets now before u%, and it has not been a little flattering to ns to find that our favourable opinion of the work bas been confirmed by the judgment of men of acknowledged erudition, taste, and talents, whose own works have done honour to the Literature of this Country, and who have ahundantll ratified out commendations. We re peat our hopes that the Author will persevere in his intention to give the work to the Public in a more conunodions and accessible shape than in that of a quarto, and we can venture to assure him, that it will always hold a distinguished rank among those versions of the remains of antiquity which may be classed among the best treasures of British Literature. To resume our remarks. In our last notice of this Poem, we made a short extract front its Twelfth Book, in which its two chief Translators wete exhibited in much strength. This beautiful book would supply us with many other passages, which we might produce for the same purpose of entertaining our Readers with a display of the powers of our old and our contemporary Poet.— But, capti more, we have already, perhaps, dwelt upon the subject too long ; and we must now hasten to take our leave of it. In the present in stance, therefore, we will conclude our parallels by submitting two short extracts for the judgment of our Readers, the first of them beginning at 1. 697 of the original, " At pater /Eneas, audit° nomine Turni," &c. ; and the last Ott i. Sl3, " His actis, aliud Genitor secutn ipse volutat." " The Trojan hero, who received from Fame The welcome sound, and heard the champion's name, Soon leaves the taken works, and monnted Greedy of war, where greater glory calls. He springs to tight, exulting in his force : His jointed armour rattles in the course. Like EHYX or like ATnos great he shows: Or father APENNINE, when, white with snows, His head divine, obscure in clouds he hides ; And shakes the sounding forest on his sides." DRYDEN. " But great 2ENEAS hears, with proud delight, The name of Tuitx us and the promised fight. Eager, where glory stimulates, to run, The town he quits, and walk already won: Bursts all delays; and, in the mighty hour, Exults, and lightens with a blaze of power. Towering in WO supremacy of State, He scen►s like ATHOs, or like Eovx great : Or like east APENNINUs nobly proud, When the king-mountain overlooks the cloud: sods to the roaring slot to his piny brow ; And vaunts his crown of everlasting snow." SVMMON3. " The peace thus made, the Thunderer next prepares To force the watery Goddess from the wars. Deep in the dismal regions, void of light, Tin ee daughters :it a . birth were born to-night. These their brown mother, brooding on her care, bottled with windy wings to flit in air : With serpents girt alike, and crown's) with hissing hair. In Heaven the Ds ; and, still at hand, Illefhre the Throne of angry Jose they stand : His Ministers of wrath, and ready still The minds of mortal men with fears to fill. Whene'er the moody Sire to wreak his hate, On realms, .or towns, deserving of their fate, Hurls down diseases, death, and deadly care, And terrifies the guilty world with war. One sister-plague of these from Heaven be sent, To fright JUIV RIV 1 with a dire portent. The Pest comes whirling' down : by far more slow Springs the swift arrow from the Partition bow, Or Cydon yew, when, traversing the skies, And drench's] in pois'nous juice, the sure destruction flies. With such a sudden and unseen a flight, Shot through the clouds the daughter of the night. Soon as the field inclosed she had in view; And from afar her destin'd quarry knew,. Contracted, to the boding bird she turns, Which haunts the ruin'd piles and hallow'd nrns. And beats about the tombs with nightly wings; Where songs obscene en sepulchres she sings. Thus lesseted in her form, with frightful cries The Fury round unhappy Ty sows flies, Flaps on his shield and flutters o'er his eyes • A laze chiluess crept along his blood : Cboak'd was his voice, his hair with horror stood." DRYDEN. " And now the Sovereign, bent on other cares, To drive JUTE., RNA from the field prepares. Two fiends, 'tis said, black Night in tempest bore, With fell MEGasta, on the Stygian shore. Thais their name : at one dread birth they rose. With equal snakes the soother eurl'd their brows; And, for the dire completion of their farm, Hedged them with pinions woven from the storm. These near the Throne of Jove, before his gate The Monarch's sterner purposes await : Ready to hurl alarms on wretched man, When the dread King revolves his wrathful plan; From the dun gale disease and death to throw, Or lay with war offending cities low. Of these one swift-wing'd Sister, now the Sire, :sent, as J UTU RNA'S omen to retire. To earth the Pest precipitates her flight, With whirlwind violence, and wrapt in night. As when an arrow, which the Partition's skill Imbues with. venom doubly sharp to kill, Hurrd from a Partition or Cydonian string, Flies through the clouds with fate upon its wing. It sounds, and sped with fury, cuts the wind, Yet mocks the sight., nor leaves a trace behind. So down to earth the night-born Portent flew; But when the hostile armies rose in view, Straight she contracts her form to narrow size, And veils her terrors in a bird's disguise: That bird's, who on the ruin'd tower or tomb, With strain.; of death alarms the midnight gloom. Thus changed, the Fiend to TURNUs bends her way; And o'er his shield and face her pinions play. The shrieking omen, flapping here and there, Flits, and each stygian feather drops despair, With a strange numbness are his limbs unstrung, Aud horror lifts his hair, and horror chains his tongue." SYMMON3. MO. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Intellivrnce has been received, via Holland, from the Cape of Good Hope, which states, that since the interview which the Governor had with the Chiefs of the Cafres, on the Cars river, GAIKA, and thz Chiefs under him, have observed strictly the spirit ot the Conventions concluded at that time with all tlee Chiefs of the frontiers. The turbulent freebooter SAMBIAR had, however, to gether with others over whom he exerc;sed his influence, broken the engagements entered into, by refusing to give up the cattle which they took from the colonists, and which were known to he bidden in great numbers in their villages. The party, under the orders of Commandant MULLER, received orders from SAMMAR to quit his territo ries, or risk the consequences ; but this insolenbe, it was determined, should not go unpunished ; and force, if it was necessary, shookd be employ ed, as in the vill.ge where SAMBIAR dwelt there were no less than 2,a00 head ot cattle belonging to the colonists, ( . ./.'Out whom they had been pil laged ; and in order to regain them, Major Faa sail received an order to transport his troops to Kieskamma, for th►e purpose of making the exac tion. They amounted to 300 men, together with 150 armed inhabitants on horseback. The Chief, SAMBIAR, being made acquainted with these movements, put himself at the head of 2000 Cafres to meet the Major, who having vainlrattempted to obtain his object by mild measures, commenced operations to enforce his demand. SAMRIAR con tinued his outrageous conduct, threatening to kill any one who dared approach, as he was reinforced by nine other Chiefs. Notwithstanding this ap pearance of strength, the Cafres were in a very short time dispersed by a general diSCh l argeOf KILIS• ketry, and Major FRASER took 2000 head of cattle which were distributed to their owners. In the affair, an immense number of Catres were killed, but the loss of the force under Major FRASER was very trifling. It was expected at the Cape that tranqu MI would in future be secured, by this useful lesson received by the most outrageous of the brigands. THEATRICAL REGISTER. Performed Last Night.

We rereived this morning the PariS Papers Tuesday last. Thl•y are entirely silent with re. gard to the Conspiracy.—The following are Ex. tra , ;ts :---- " PARIS, JULY 21.—The King promenaded, as usual, yesterday morning in the Little Park at St. Cloud. After Mass his Majesty received se veral Lieutenant-Generals and Marechaux-de- Camp un the Retired List. The Count De cazes, 'Minister of General ,Police, transacted business with his Majesty in the afternoon. " The trial of the pretended Count Pontis of St. Helena concluded yesterday. The Court of Assizes gave judgment that he was the same man who was sentenced under the name of Coignard, in the year 9, to 14 years in irons, for robbery, and he was therefore ordered to be handed over to the disposal of the King's Procurem-General.

" 131111LV:, JULY 7.—lt is understood that the deliberations of our Council of State will not be formally resumed till October next. " The labours respecting the constitutional or ganization of our Monarchy 'are actively pro ceeded in, but hitherto wit limit any result. '. The new littancial System,' as determined upon by the Council of State, will be submitted to the King after his return front Russia. It is not believed, however, that his Majesty _will give a definitive decision upon the subject before next winter. The great internal interests of the Mo narchy will not be taken into consideration till after the return of the King► and the PI ince de. Hardenberg from the conferences at Aix•la- Chapelle. " CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 10:—The Persist) Ambassador, at his departure, - received from the Porte presents to the amount of 10,000 piastres, and those of his suite 5,000." The Letter from Paris, which we present to our Readers this day, we received last night by a pri vate hand. Though it does not relate any parti culars more interesting than our former accounts of the Conspiracy, yet it fully confirms them, by reasoning as well as fact. The New Times, with a policy not very prudent, continues to denomi nate this Conspiracy a " marvellous mystifica tion." We respect the character and talents of the Conductor of that Paper, and heartily concur with him in all his opinions on domestic politics and national interests; as connected With other States. We also concur with him in his wishes respecting France, and should he really happy if the former Government could be restored, and every vestige of the hideous Revolution obliter ated ; and if too all revolutionary Upstarts of every description could be driven from France, and never suffered to pollute its soil any more. For if the former Government were restored, the present universal diffusion of political knowledge would prevent such exertions of arbitrary power as might endanger the existence of that .Govern ment, by rousing the people into an 'assertion of their rights ere they to he invaded; and whatever defects or excesses might be found in the system, would most probably be removed by the progress of knowledge and the lights of experience. But not only France but all Europe received such a shock by the Revolutions, as almost undermined the very fabric of Society. It is then hopeless and highly dangerous to attempt to revive the old order of things. The Editor of The New Times ought to be aware of the peril, as well as impossibility, of such attempts, and therefore,we think that he is imprudent in persisting to express his doubts of the existence of a Conspiracy too certain, since he may be thought to have but scanty means of information, or his judgment as a Politician be called in question. It is whispered in the higher political circles, that on the ensuing meeting of the Sovereigns the affairs of Saxony will be taken into consideration, with a view to restore those territories to the King of which he was deprived, because he bad done no more than the rest of those Sovereigns had done in Submitting to the irresistible power of BUONAPARTE, who might otherwise have crushed him into nothing; It is added, that this intended restoration is not only with the consent of the King of PRUSSIA, but that the proposal actually originated in that Monarch. Such liberal con duct on the part of his Prussian Majesty would endear his character in the estimation of the present age, and transmit his name with honour to posterity. We hope there is some truth in this rumour, for to despoil an unfortunate Monarch of a considerable part of a Kingdom not before large in itself, for an act which was absOlutely nuavoidable, and in which those who deprived him of bis Territory equally participated, would, if that Territory is not restored, be such conduct as History must brand .as inconsistent with justice, and an open contempt for the opi nions of mankind. The Duke of GLOUCESTER is likely to be absent for a few months abroad, but as he is not accom panied by the Duchess, many idle rumours are afloat, invented by malice and believed by credu lity. 'We have reason to believe that none of these rumours have any foundation in truth, but that the utmost harmony subsists between the Royal Pair, and thsst the reluctance of the Duchess to quit this country, particularly in the present delicate state of her AIAJBSTY'S health, is the only reason why she is not a Partner in the Expedi tion. We should not have thought these effusions of . gossipping malignity worth notice, unless for the purpose of contradicting them. The health of the Metropolis is so important a concern, that we have given, in an early page of our Paper of this day, the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Con tagions Fever in London, which we consider as • a very important Document. THR QUREN.—The regular account from Kew yesterday Only stated, " Her MAJESTY is much the sa►ue this morning as yesterday." Private ac. couutz said—" The QUEEN is much indisposed." Letters received from Trinidad, dared the 10 h of June, contain am account of a desperate en gagement, which took Place on the 9th, off that i,land, between the Spanish squadron and that rat the Independents, under the command of Admiral BRION, in which the former was totally destroyed. Prior to the engagement the Independent squa dron had captured a great many valuable ships, belonging to the Spaniards, which, it is thought, brought on the above engagement. The PRINCR REGENT will be one of the smn, sors at the baptism of the young Lord firtrttri, for which great preparations are making aciVae wick Castle.
